Definitions

  • the present invention relates generally to biocides for water systems such as swimming pools, spas, cooling towers, or other industrial applications, and more particularly to biocides using copper, silver or zinc as their active agent.
  • Certain metals such as copper, silver, zinc, etc., are known to possess biocidal qualities when used in circulating water systems. Unfortunately, many metal ions easily precipitate in alkaline or near-alkaline water conditions as insoluble salts of oxides, hydroxides, and/or carbonates, removing the metals from the system and thus removing the ability of the metal ion to act as a biocide.
  • sequestering agents such as alkanolamines, aminocarboxylic acids or citric acid have been used to improve the stability of the metal in aqueous solutions conditions.
  • These simple, organic compounds contain amine, hydroxyl, and carboxyl functionalities that exhibit sequestration capacity for polyvalent metal cations.
  • problems remain however, because alkanolamines, aminocarboxylic acids, and citric acid deteriorate quickly in the presence of halogens and other oxidizers, bacteria, sunlight or heat, thus allowing the metal to become unsequestered and subject to loss due to precipitation.
  • the net result in pools, spas, cooling towers or other water systems is a loss of activity of the metal ions.
  • the present invention addresses that need.
  • the inventive biocidal compositions include a source of a metal such as copper, silver, zinc, etc., and a polymeric sequestering agent.
  • the polymeric sequestering agent may be a water-soluble anionic polymer or a water-soluble cationic polymer. Conventional sequestering agents may also be included in the composition.
  • One object of the present invention is to provide metal-containing biocides that do not stain the solid surfaces of a swimming pool.
  • a second object of the present invention is to provide a metal-containing biocidal composition that maintains activity longer due to stabilization of metal ions in solution by polymeric sequesterants.
  • FIG. 1 shows the residence time of soluble copper, copper/polymer and copper triethanolamine using 28 liter aquaria (error bars equal to ⁇ one std. deviation).
  • FIGS. 2 and 3 show equivalent residence times for those samples containing copper/TEA and copper/polymer formulations
  • the invention relates to improved biocidal formulations for water treatment applications based on an improved method of stabilizing metals such as copper, silver, zinc, etc.
  • the invention employs ionic polymeric stabilizing agents, preferably in conjunction with a conventional organic sequestering agent such as alpha-hydroxyacids and the like, to sequester elemental metal cations.
  • This formulation stabilizes metals even in alkaline environments and prevents their loss due to precipitation, thereby increasing the effective life of the biocide and preventing staining of swimming pool surfaces.
  • the metal is provided as a soluble or insoluble metal salt such as metal acetates, metal chlorides, metal formates, metal nitrates, metal sulfates, or metal carbonates.
  • the metal may also be present in its elemental form.
  • the amount of metal salt present may vary from 0.01% to 99.9% by weight as a single metal salt or mixed metal salt composition.
  • the metal salt is present in an amount of about 1% to 40% by weight of the composition.
  • the amount of elemental metal sequestered in the formulation may range from 0.01% to 30%, with 1% to 10% being preferred, and 3% to 8% being most preferred.
  • the invention uses water-soluble anionic polymers such as polyacrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, polyvinyl sulfonic acid, polystyrene sulfonic acid, polymaleic acid, polyaspartic acid, polyphosphino carboxylic acids, copoly ers, terpolymers, or tetrapolymers thereof or the sodium, potassium, calcium salts or metal salts of said polymers.
  • water-soluble anionic polymers such as polyacrylic acid, polymethacrylic acid, polyvinyl sulfonic acid, polystyrene sulfonic acid, polymaleic acid, polyaspartic acid, polyphosphino carboxylic acids, copoly ers, terpolymers, or tetrapolymers thereof or the sodium, potassium, calcium salts or metal salts of said polymers.
  • water-soluble cationic polymers such as poly[oxyethylene-(dimethylimino) ethylene-(dimethylimino) ethylene dichloride] , polyethylene imine, dialyl dimethyl ammonium chloride, polyacrylamide derivatives, polyamines, polyvinyl amine, chitosan, polyethylene amine or a polymer of 1, 6-hexanediamine-N,N,N' ,N'-tetramethyl or the fluoride, chloride, or bromide salts thereof, and the like are used.
  • the amount of polymer or mixture of polymers present in the composition may vary from 0.01% to 99.9% by weight; however, 10% to 50% is preferred.
  • the molecular weight of the ionic polymeric agent is preferably between about 500 Da and 20,000,000 Da, with polymers having a molecular weight of between about 1,000 Da and 5,000,000 Da being more preferred, and polymers having a molecular weight of between about 1,000 Da and 1,500,000 Da being most preferred.
  • organic sequestering agents are used with the polymeric agent.
  • hydroxy-carboxylic acids, aminocarboxylic acids, polyamines, alkanolamines, polyphosphates, phosphonic acids, crown ethers, amino acids, etc. may be used in conjunction with the polymeric agent as described below.

  • Example 13 MIC results a ⁇ ainst Chlorella so. using various concentrations of copper.
  • Soluble elemental copper is easily removed from solution through filtration and by combining with carbonate, chloride or hydroxide ions that are commonly found in process water, such as swimming pools, spas or industrial water applications to form insoluble copper carbonates and hydroxides. Sequestered metals do not readily form these insoluble salts or filter out of the system. Thus, sequestered metals have a higher residence time in the water. This allows the metal to work for longer periods of time.
  • the residence time of copper was tested using a system of aquaria. Copper was tested in various sequestered forms and as free soluble copper. Initially, the copper concentration will be 1.25 ppm as Cu . Copper concentrations were tested photometrically using a HACH 3000 colorimeter.
  • Residence times were tracked in field pools that were treated with either copper sequestered with TEA or copper sequestered with polymer. The tests show equivalent residence times for those samples containing copper/TEA and copper/polymer formulations. See FIGS. 2 & 3.
  • MIC Minimum inhibitory concentration
  • laboratory studies were performed to demonstrate that the compositions of the present invention retained their biocidal efficacy.
  • MIC data gives the minimum concentration of biocide needed to prevent growth of bacteria in a culture. Individual MIC's were determined by screening on microtiter plates. In order to determine the MIC's, 50 ⁇ l of phosphate water is added to each row in columns 2-12. Next, 100 ⁇ l of a biocide is added to column 1 (A-H) . Fifty microliters of the biocide is removed from column 1 and serially diluted from columns 2-11 using an eight tip pipettor (octapette) .
  • Bacterial inoculua contain about 1 x 10 colony forming units (cfu) per ml are prepared in 1/5 strength Nutrient broth. Bacterial microtiter plates are incubated at 37°C for 48 hours. MIC's are determined by visual observation of the plates.
